The authors study the hyperbolic problem \[ K(x,t)u_{tt} - \sum_{j=1}^n\left(a(x,t)u_{x_j}\right)x_j + F(x,t,u,\nabla u) = 0\quad\text{in }\Omega \] \[ u=0\quad\text{on }\Gamma_1,\qquad \frac {\partial u}{\partial\nu}+\beta (x) u_t =0\quad\text{on }\Gamma_0,\qquad u(0)=u^0,\qquad u_t(0)=u^1\quad\text{in }\Omega, \] where \(\Omega\) is a bounded region in \({\mathbb{R}}^n\) whose boundary is partitioned into two disjoint sets \(\Gamma_0, \Gamma_1\). The authors prove existence, uniqueness, and uniform stability of strong and weak solutions when the coefficients and the boundary conditions provide a damping effect.
